Polycarbonate (PC) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) was welded through a combination of a diode laser and CNC. Laser beam passed the transparent PC and was absorbed in an opaque ABS. Polymers were melted and welded by absorbed and conducted heat. Experiments were carried out by varying working distance from 44mm to 50mm for the focus spot diameter control, laser input power from 10W to 25W, and scanning speed from 100 to 400mm/min. The weld bead size and the specimen cross-section were analyzed, and tensile results were presented through the joint force measurement. With focus distance at 48mm, laser power with 20W, and welding speed at 300mm/min, experimental results showed the best welding quality which bead size was 3.75mm and the shear strength was $22.8N/mm^2$. Considering tensile strength of ABS is $43N/mm^2$, shear strength was sufficient to hold two materials. A single process was possible in CNC machining processes, surface processing, hole machining and welding. As a result, the process cycle time was reduced to 25%. Compared to a typical process, specimens were fabricated in a single process, with high precision. By combining two operations processes developed process gained 50% more efficiency.

In this paper, we design to generate 12.5 GHz spaced 256 number of multi-carrier generation module using 32 laser diodes. We modulate the generated multi-carrier generation module by 12.4 Gbps, and confirm the performance of optical channels passing through recirculating loop up to 1000km distance. An experimental result shows that the carrier away from the laser diode is significantly influence by noise effect.

In solar cell module manufacturing, single solar cells has to be joined electrically to strings. Copper stripes coated with tin-silver-copper alloy are joined on screen printed silver of solar cells which is called busbar. The bus bar collects the electrons generated in solar cell and it is connected to the next cell in the conventional module manufacturing by a metal stringer using conventional hot air or infrared lamp soldering systems. For thin solar cells, both soldering methods have disadvantages, which heats up the whole cell to high temperatures. Because of the different thermal expansion coefficient, mechanical stresses are induced in the solar cell. Recently, the trend of solar cell is toward thinner thickness below 180um and thus the risk of breakage of solar cells is increasing. This has led to the demand for new joining processes with high productivity and reduced error rates. In our project, we have developed a new method to solder solar cells with a laser heating source. The soldering process using diode laser with wavelength of 980nm was examined. The diode laser used has a maximum power of 60W and a scanner system is used to solder dimension of 6" solar cell and the beam travel speed is optimized. For clamping copper stripe to solar cell, zirconia(ZrO)coated iron pin-spring system is used to clamp both joining parts during a scanner system is traveled. The hot plate temperature that solar cell is positioned during lasersoldering process is optimized. Also, conventional solder joints after $180^{\circ}C$ peel tests are compared to the laser soldering methods. Microstructures in welded zone shows that the diffusion zone between solar cell and metal stripes is better formed than inIR soldering method. It is analyzed that the laser solder joints show no damages to the silicon wafer and no cracks beneath the contact. Peel strength between 4N and 5N are measured, with much shorter joining time than IR solder joints and it is shown that the use of laser soldering reduced the degree of bending of solar cell much less than IR soldering.

In the last few years, lasers have found new applications as tools for ceramic machining which is laser-assisted machining(LAM). LAM process for the machining of difficult-to-machine materials such as structural ceramics, has recently been studied on silicon nitride workpiece for a wide range of operating condition. However, there have been few studies on rake angle in LAM process. In this paper we analyzed difference of machinability between positive and negative rake angle in tools. We have obtained interesting results that we could eliminate chattering, lower specific cutting and cutting ratio in case of positive rake angle. The results suggest that positive rake angled tools can make more plastic deformation and stable cutting of silicon nitride in comparison with negative rake angled one.

A high-power Nb:glass laser system(Simmyung I) has been contructed and tested. In this system, we used a Nb:YLF laser as a master oscillator, a 4-pass amplifier for pre-amplification, 5 stages of rod amplifiers, and spatial filtering and image reaying usits. The system has demonstrated in excess of 80J(2TW) with 40 psec(FWHM) pulse duration. Output energy, gain and spatial were measured at each amplification stage. With this laser system a preliminary X-ray generation experiment was performed. Pinhole images, X-ray diode signals and X-ray speriment were obtained for the irradiated target of copper. Detailed descriptions of the system performance and the X-tay generation experiment are presented.

Mold may experience deterioration of molding quality as the abrasion of mold occurring due to friction between mold and molded product works as allowance in the course of press process. Therefore, to improve the wear-resistance of mold, methods like nitriding, carburizing, flame and induction surface hardening treatment etc have been applied. However, as such methods are accompanied by problems like shape limitation or product deformation etc, laser surface treatment technology is under review as surface treatment method that can solve such problems. Therefore, in this study, mold material cast iron was surface-treated by using high power diode laser. In previous report 1 and report 2, the heat treatment characteristics were compared by the differences of die materials and shapes, then this paper observed microstructure by using optical microscope and scanning electronic microscope to analyze the structural difference of hardened zone, interface area and base metal after heat treatment. And the structural condition was grasped through EDS. As a result of microstructure, hardened zone showed formation of acicular martensite.

There is a considerable interest in tunable DFB-LD for their use in OFDM and coherent optical communications. In this paper, A modeling of ${\lambda}/4$-shifted tunable wavelength three electrode DFB-LD was performed considering the spatial hole burning within a laser diode cavity. The modeling will show design paramenters' requirement for high-speed and broad bandwidth lasers. The simulations of modeling prove that the continuous tuning range is about 3nm and the SMSR is about several dB. We showed that the optical power and carrier density distribution along z for several dc current with SHB. It was shown that prove that optical power and carrier density along cavity are changed and thismeans that modeling is correct.

In this paper, we wrote about the basic experimentation of Optical CT's temperature characteristic to measure high-current in a super-high-voltage electric power equipment which is using Faraday effect. We used the 1310[nm] Laser Diode as the light source and PIN Photodiode as receiver. For the transmission line of light, we used 30[m] single mode fiber which could maintain the state of polarization in the optical fiber. For the experiment, the temperature transformation device make by aluminium. the The range of current was from 400[A] and 1300[A] and the range of temperature was from $-40[^{\circ}C]\;to\;50[^{\circ}C]$. In a same experimental condition, magnitude increased input current increase follow by increasing proportion of input current.

We proposed a B-RWG LD (Buried-ridge waveguide laser diode) having more merits than a conventional RWG-LD. It's ridge width is controlled easily, it has the advantage of being more planar than the RWG-LD and it is possible to control refractive index with growth layer thickness. Before fabricating the device, we designed the optimal device for single mode, high efficiency and high power operation. From theoretical analysis, we have to control the $d_2, d_3$ layer thicknesses for lateral effective index difference, $\Delta_{nL}$ to be higher than critical value, and simultaneously consider the ridge width for single mode and low threshold current operation. As a result, it is possible to make a single mode LD having the ridge width of $6~9{\mu}m$ if the lateral effective index difference was controlled properly. perly.

The design and control of thermal flow is important for the operation of high-power laser diodes (LDs). It is necessary to analyze and improve the thermal bottleneck near the active layer of an LD. As the error in prediction of the thermal resistance of an LD is large, typically due to the hyperbolic increase and saturation to linear increase of the thermal resistance as a function of thickness, it is helpful to use a simple, modified divergence model for the improvement and optimization of thermal resistance. The characteristics of LDs are described quite well, in that the values for simulated thermal resistance curves and the thermal cross section followed are almost the same as the values from the model function. Also, the thermal-cross-section curve obtained by differentiating the thermal resistance is good for identifying thermal bottlenecks intuitively, and is also fitted quite well by the model proposed for both a typical LD structure and an improved LD with thin capping and high thermal conductivity.
